Colopl is representative Japanese geolocation game company for futurephone. However, they develop the various game application for smartphones. Besides, they are 3D. This is one of them "Rhythm coin!".

A bear of 2D(in the geolocation game) becomes 3D and dances. Cute!

"Rhythm coin!" is simple coin pusher game. It is full 3DCG and physical operation is also included.

This is different from the geolocation game that they usually run. It seems that they are putting not only a geolocation game but all games into the view.

The main function of this is profile, diary, message and footprint(access history ). There is no difference between the function of this and other social network services. However, the design is unique. All of the site is the showy design which Japanese hoodlums likes. If users turn into a charged fee user, they can decorate to profile page.
And the most individual point is that the entry item of the profile has "a guidance career" and "an arrest career".

I think that this is effective in logging in to a police officer in secret :)

U2plus has the program which used cognitive-behavioral therapy as the base, and a function which the users of depression support mutually. Users share the positive occurrence in a daily life mutually. And the feedback is carried out only through a buttons. Because it is not a free text, the negative chain does not occur. In addition, U2plus does not have the friend function either. Because friend application and the block produce the stress with pleasure. Therefore the timeline of U2plus resembles Tumblr than Twitter.

U2plus opens in January and has the registration of 1,000 users and 30 counselors now. Surprisingly they opened the English version of U2plus. This is rare in the Japanese community where weak in other languages.
